2. If a point on a rotating object is further from the axis of rotation, its linear velocity will be:
Greater
Smaller
The same
Zero
3. Angular velocity is the rate of change of .
4. Linear velocity is directly proportional to both angular velocity and the .
5. A bicycle wheel has a radius of 0.35 meters and rotates at 4 revolutions per second. Calculate its angular velocity in rad/s.
6. A record player spins a vinyl record at 33 1/3 revolutions per minute. What is the linear velocity of a point 10 cm from the center of the record?
7. All points on a rotating rigid body have the same linear velocity.
True
False
8. The direction of angular velocity is along the axis of rotation.
True
False
Match the term on the left with its definition on the right.
9. Angular Displacement
a. The rate at which an object's position changes in a straight line.
10. Linear Velocity
b. The angle through which a point, line, or body is rotated in a specified direction about a specified axis.
11. Frequency
c. The number of cycles or rotations per unit of time.
12. Consider two gears in mesh, as shown below. Gear A has a radius of 10 cm and Gear B has a radius of 5 cm. If Gear A rotates at an angular velocity of 20 rad/s, what is the angular velocity of Gear B?
